“I moved into The McClaren apts. (awesome place) about 14 months ago and discovered Otto Izakaya early on. Only 2 blocks away for me. Otto is, and has been, my go to place, especially when friends, family or business friends are visiting. Not a sole I have introduced has ever had anything but praises for the experience. If we are a small group, I always encourage dining at the bar. I have no idea who will read this, but people buy from people; and people they enjoy interacting with. I would be totally remiss if I didn't specifically mention bar manager Matt and his team behind the bar. If Matt has ever met a stranger, I missed it, as he has the personality to balance the engagement with customers, while still providing excellent customer service. Also, everything I've tried off the menu is high-grade and fresh! That's a must for me. I'd be slack if I didn't mention the awesome hard working sushi chefs, who are always open to preparing a creation to suit YOUR palate and preferences. As to other regular customers, and just my observation, but like me, they appear to have found a home away from home; a place to be comfortable, chill and let the time spent make a bad day better. I almost never take the time to give a review and especially a compliment; as I sometimes look for the negatives, as it is always so easy to criticize. So, as a native Greenvillian and business (person); and someone who believes and enjoys a five ***** experience that is reasonably priced, give Otto Izakaya a try. Whether you live in the area, or are simply visiting, when you leave you will already be thinking about when you can do this again! If you enjoy an adult beverage, be sure and stop by the bar and ask for Matt, as this master mixologist will want to know exactly what you're looking for. If you read this review and haven't stopped by, you're in for an experience catered to the way you would most enjoy it. And ladies, as I have a daughter in college, so please know whether by yourself, or in a group, you're in a safe place without being hassled and you don't have to look over shoulder (unless there is a stud sitting behind you), because Matt and the supporting staff will have your back so you can relax and enjoy. If you have a chance to meet the owner, please do, as his passion and dedication for excellence in all aspects of the business is instantly captivating. Sorry for the length of this, I was on a roll! No "pun" intended! Give it a try real soon! M.P. 😎“

“We celebrated my wife's birthday with an incredible dinner full of flavor and fun. The night kicked off with fresh, beautifully prepared sushi that set the tone just right. The hibachi was perfectly grilled steak, chicken, and vegetables right off of the hot grill! We toasted with sake-Simple and satisfying. Great food, great vibes, and the best company.“

“To Go Order (Door Dashed) I usually don’t leave reviews but I have to say, I throughly enjoyed every single bite of sushi tonight. I ordered two rolls, the Crazy California Roll and the Black Tiger Roll. It looked amazing and the price was very reasonable. I most definitely recommend.“

“Come eat here!!!“

“Absolutely fantastic sushi. Portions are generous too. My new favorite for sushi in Greenville.“

“Excellent food and service. Love the snow crab salad and monster roll the best!“

“New to the area. We very much enjoyed the food and sake with friends. we will be back!“

“Sushi Masa is an excellent sushi bar and restaurant. Their salmon nigiri is very high quality. Scallops ‘gunkan style’ are awesome. The A5 wagyu special nigiri is a reasonably priced luxury food. Service is excellent and friendly. Crowded Fri/Sat. Call ahead during the lunch hour to score a dinner reservation later in the week. First seating is 5:30 — easiest and best.“

“They served me and my friends this weekend during southeast game exchange. I used to love joy of Tokyo when I frequently visited Greenville while dating my now wife. It's safe to say this place is still amazing. I had the teriyaki chicken and steak.“

“Atmosphere is casual and inviting. The service was amazing. We started with a variety of apps. Tuna tartare, cucumber salad and edamame were all delicious, but the tacos we finished with were less desirable. Maybe next time I'll try some sushi.“

“Absolutely one of the best meals we had during our trip. The presentation was top notch, staff friendly and the food exceptional. Highly recommend!!“

“Outstanding ramen, sushi and other goodies. The pork buns are tasty and the takoyaki was superb.“

“First time having actual traditional ramen and it was amazing! Great sushi menu, friendly service and very tasty food!“

“My son randomly picked Chef 21 off a search. We had the Korean BBQ lunch special. Plenty of food and it was all delicious. We are planning another visit because we want to try the sushi.“

“My family and I just happened to wander into the front doors of this wonderful place and we were extremely pleased with prompt, friendly service, relatively affordable pricing (especially considering the area), and exceptionally fresh and wonderful food. The atmosphere was very upscale, but being casually dressed in blue jeans and t-shirts, we still felt very comfortable and welcome. I had the Hibachi Chicken Plate, and she had the Steak Hibachi. We split our Sushi: the “IBM Roll” and “BMW Roll” and words cannot describe how fresh and delectable everything tasted. We were astounded at the quality of food, the speed of service, the friendliness of service and it was like the cook was professionally-trained. Very nice place, if “taste” is what leads you to somewhere new. We loved it and will be back.“

“Came here at 6:09pm told it was going to be 15 minutes. 50 minutes later got sat. Took 20 minutes for anyone to come to the table to get our order. And near 8:00pm still no food. 8:04 asked for the check got the food, rice significantly undercooked, chicken rubbery, over all terrible experience. People who came in after us were seated and got their food before us and left before we even got our food. Absolutely terrible service and terrible tasting food which is a shame because the past few times I came it was really good. This single experience was so bad I am not going back“

“The Malaysian Ramen is amazing!“
